Overview
About Me
I live in Paris where I work as an insurance broker after graduated from a French-Italian degree. I studied and lived two years in Florence, Italy and try to go back there as often as possible (Once/ year so far).
But I like traveling elsewhere and even far away when I have enough time. For me traveling is all about sharing knowledge.
I'm curious and always keen on talking about different things like history, art, sports (especially soccer, tennis and rugby), business, cinema, tourism and so on...
